Topic: Thor: The Toys! (Read 14249 times)

Hell, you're better off having a shortage of basic Thor than you are having an overabundance of him. Supply-demand?

I agree about too many of the same character, but the main characters should never be too hard to find, at least not in their primary attire. Case in point 1980's Kenner Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones was impossible to find (along with Marion Ravenwood). I never saw one when I was a kid. Oh, the fun that might have been had with that figure, instead just had arab disguise Indy and German disguise.

Picked up a complete set of five figures from wave 1 of the Thor: The Dark World figure line - they only had one Dark Elf figure and from the case assortments it looks like that's all there is in the wave 1 case.

Are any more figures planned for this line or is this it?

I haven't even seen pictures of these. Are these 5 POA figures or are they more like Marvel Universe style?

They are more in-line with the first Thor Movie figures - except none have waist articulation and some (like Kurse) don't have ankle articulation. So they are somewhat in-line with Marvel Universe style.

I wish they had released just a Logan and a Silver Samurai from The Wolverine in this style and not the 5POA junk we got for that movie instead.

Ok, I saw these yesterday too. Is the Dark Elf the same as Kurse? Or are these 2 different figures? Pardon my ignorance but I only know the classic Thor characters from the comics.

I didn't notice what the articulation looked like, sorry.

Kurse and the Dark Elf are two separate figures/villain characters. I managed to find a Dark Elf for myself the other day. Kind of bummed that this figure is only one per case, because it's pretty cool, and sure enough an army builder.

Kurse is an individual villain who IIRC is a fairly major villain in the Thor storylines. Although I'm surprised that the other main villain from the movie, Malekith, hasn't been represented yet in the figure line. Although I do hold out some hope that he might come in a later wave if the figure line goes beyond this first wave.

I bought a Dark Elf at TRU today. Such an interesting design. Thought about Kurse, but I thinl I'll wait on him. These are much more engaging designs to me personally than the last film, which was still pretty cool.
